Chang Books

Great book to share with others. The lyrics are beautiful and the illustrations a great images of "lovin". This book pays homage to jazz legends and the sweetness of love. This book leaves you with a warm feeling. I highly recommend this book. It's like church - good for the soul.

Beautiful illustrated to lyrics with true meaning that reaches to depths and essence of your soul.

As an adult, I was fascinated by this book. I enjoyed the photos and the biography. I think this is a book for adults and children to read together and to use as a springboard for dialogue about life's challenges and how to deal with them, as well as the discrimination faced by a minority. It is all about the incredibly difficult challenges that one man has gone through (discrimination, parental loss as a child, polio, etc.), and is inspiring in how he reinvented himself over the years and managed to find success.

I found this book very inspirational, as it tells the life and struggles of an artist and Hollywood special effects master. The language sparked my interest and made me want to read more. I especially enjoyed the details about Chang's work with Walt Disney Studios and the Star Trek TV show. The book made me feel that I personally knew someone famous. This is an interesting story of a man who accomplished so much. As an educator, I would recommend the book to students and to adults. It will help others realize that we CAN get past difficult times and that we can nurture our own creativity in order to see our own dreams come true.

Without a doubt one of the finest film books that I have ever come upon! BAMBI: The Story And The Film by Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas is a treat to both eye and the mind. Using sketches, drawings and paintings created during the course of the film's making, along with insightful text by two of Bambi's artists, this book is a work of art in its own right. This book, along with the latest BAMBI DVD, would provide anyone interested with an appreciation of this film unlike any college course could. If you love this film like I do, you will throughly enjoy this now out-of-print book. HIGHEST RATING!

Not as HOT as The Illusion of Life, but a MUST-HAVE anyway, this book gives a thorough insight into the making of one of the greatest animated feature films ever, by the animators of Bambi and Thumper...

Ever wondered how to keep the weight off once your diet helps you lose it? Look no further. This book has a great, easy to use program for keeping weight off. And it doesn't involve having to eat Weight Watcher meals forever, or not eating any white food, or eating steak for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to lose weight and keep it off.

At first, I was skeptical about buying another weight-loss book because they are so hard to read and the advice they give usually doesn't work too well. But, I saw Dr. Chang interviewed and decided to give this book a chance. I am so glad that I did. The book was actually a fun reading experience (that's a first!), with not only a weight-loss program, but ways to stop smoking, decrease your blood pressure, and other health guidelines. After several months, I have lost almost 25 pounds, and I know that I can keep it off (which other programs don't focus on). I even got a book for my girlfriend, who is using the program too. I would definitely recommend this book if you want to lose weight and keep it off.

The book came very quickly without any problems or delays - very happy with this transaction

This is the easiest way to find linear, non-linear, integer and non-integer solutions to sticky business problems. This makes Excel look very compicated in comparison. I recommend this to anyone with multiple business constraint situations. Just lock, load, and solve.

What are the three F's in cooking today? Flavor, Fast and Fat reduced. I found these all in Norma Chang's "wokking Your Way to Low Fat Cooking. I've made several recipes from this book and found them easy to follow and the results delicous! Most recipes have a teaspoon or less added fat. The hints and tips throughout the book are good for all types of cooking. With the variations added to each recipe, add another F for fun!

My husband and I never choose to eat at Chinese restaurants any more. Why? We've been too spoiled by this book! Why go out to eat when we can have better food at home?

"Wokking Your Way to Low Fat Cooking" changed my cooking style and our taste buds forever. The fried rice, chow mein and other dishes served in restaurants now seem too greasy and boring, heavy in calories and unnecessary additives. We've gotten too used to the fantastic flavor and less fat in Norma Chang's creative and healthy cuisine. I use her book at least once a week, if not more. It is my constant companion in the kitchen. Even if I am not cooking directly from her book, I have adapted the author's methods and helpful tips to other recipes. After reading "Wokking Your Way", I've never cooked the same again.

"Wokking Your Way" recipes are not only easy to prepare but also nutritious and delicious. The directions clearly state each step and include variations to add simple spice to any dish. Most ingredients can be bought at a regular grocery store. A wok is not even necessary. I've used non-stick skillets instead.

During my postpartum days, adjusting to life with a newborn, I often made Sweet and Sour Fish or Bay Scallops with Green Peas, dishes that contain lots of protein and vitamin-rich vegetables but can be cooked in just minutes. If I have a busy evening planned, then I do what the author suggests: marinate the meat and slice the vegetables the night before. The next day, dinner can be finished in less time than the rice cooker needs to make the rice. So easy and "yummy" (as my toddler daughter now says)!

The book also contains many other well-loved recipes, including plenty of ideas for salmon (my favorite), a creative Crispy Apricot Chicken, Beef with Spinach Soup, Sesame Noodles, and, a favorite fall dessert: Autumn Fruits with Honey and Lime.

Friends often ask me for my recipes. I tell them what a wonderful cookbook "Wokking Your Way to Low Fat Cooking" is. The subtitle written on the cover says it all: "dedicated to food lovers who are long on good taste but short on time".

I've tried a lot of the recipes from this book, and they're all fantastic. The photos are great, and the food tastes authentic, not dumbed down, american (aka, bland) versions. Strong flavors, interesting ingredients, great food. I own this book, and I'm buying my mom a copy for Mother's Day.

This is one of the best books for international chicken recipes. The pages are filled with exotic offerings and the recipes often call for unusual ingredients, so it's not for the timid. My results for the Lemongrass Chicken and Coconut Chicken were absolutely fabulous (although I did omit ingredients that were not at hand). Many of the recipes are accompanied by mouth-watering photos to inspire you when choosing amongst the variety of dishes. My only gripe is that some of the Indonesian and Thai recipes look to be mere variations on each other. But in summary, I'm looking forward to trying more of the recipes in this book.

Yoga presented in simplisity and elegance. execellent for all levels.

I've read a lot of yoga books and this is definitely one of the best -- and one of the most beautiful. The writing is simple and clear, making yoga concepts and philosophy very accessible. There's a real focus on the spirit of yoga through the poses, rather than just a "how to," mechanical approach to contorting the body. The gorgeous photographs are the perfect accompaniment to the text. It's also a very comfortable length, making a perfect gift for anyone who's curious about yoga and wants to learn more.

I am a Cardinal Fan, however, my best friend is a Cub Fan. We enjoy seeing Cub/Cardinal games live. He absolutely loved it.

THIS BOOK IS A GREAT ADDITION FOR ANY FAN. NOT ONLY LA BUT IT'S ALSO GOT ALOT OF OTHER BASEBALL INFO AND TONS OF PICS. EZ TO READ AND FIGURE OUT.
THANKS AGAIN. LBSMITH
